@AirportGrenoble @adambolton88 I sincerely hope the staff considers how it will arrange letting people back into the terminal.

[Thomas Bligh Scott @proftbs]

@SWNuclearHub @BristolUniEng @RAEngNews Really well deserved too!

[South West Nuclear Hub @SWNuclearHub]

Our Director @proftbs is now presenting on how robots and UAVs can reduce costs and remove humans from dangerous environments
#Scitec2019

[South West Nuclear Hub @SWNuclearHub]

Dr Peter Martin from @UniBrisPhysics is now presenting the techniques used to analyse a fuel particle ejected from the #Fukushima power plant
#NuFor2019

[South West Nuclear Hub @SWNuclearHub]

Our Director @proftbs opens the Environmental session presenting the UAV radiation surveys undertaken by @NCNRobotics in #Chernobyl
#NuFor2019

[South West Nuclear Hub @SWNuclearHub]

The final talk of the conference is from Jeremy Inglis of Los Alamos National Lab. It's been a fascinating conference with a huge range of topics covered #NuFor2019

Fully automated UAV radiation monitoring of a #Fukushima nuclear waste storage site. Just some of the research from @NCNRobotics and @RAIN_hub aiming to make decommissioning safer and more efficient

[Prof Claire Corkhill @clairecorkhill]

Here we see some of the 800,000 liquidators making a survey of the radiation in the #Chernobyl exclusion zone to determine the extent of the damage. My collaborator, @proftbs @SWNuclearHub, has recently returned to repeat the exercise, with a drone: https://t.co/31veg0mQG6

Fascinating few days of radioactive detective work in Chernobyl with scientists from @BristolUni and the @NCNRobotics more on @itvnews at 6.30 and 10.00 tonight: https://t.co/Ol8bTnDEB2

[Kieran Wood @DrKieranWood]

Watch out for some @itvnews articles covering our recent trip to Chernobyl. Here is a short report from @TomClarke_ITV with more to follow this evening. The pressure was on to hand launch our titan fixed-wing #drone in front of the camera! @UOBFlightLab

[Dean Connor @D_Connor94]

It was pretty surreal having ITV news following us around for the final couple of days of our fieldwork in Chernobyl, but it was fun nonetheless! Tune into ITV news tonight at 6.30 and 10 to see the longer story! #lookmum #imonthetelly

[South West Nuclear Hub @SWNuclearHub]

On the 33rd anniversary of the #Chernobyl nuclear accident, researchers from @UniBrisPhysics and @NCNRobotics have visited the region to develop high resolution maps using gamma-ray spectrometers
@proftbs @DrKieranWood

[BristolFlightLab @UOBFlightLab]

The @BristolUni @NCNRobotics UAS team have earned their flight hours! Over nine field days, the total airborne time was 24 hrs flying 730 km to produce comprehensive 15 square kilometre radiation map. Good work @DrKieranWood @proftbs, @D_Connor94, Yannick, Peter, and Sevda.

[South West Nuclear Hub @SWNuclearHub]

The Nuclear Innovation & Research Advisory Board has issued urgent recommendations to UK Government on the nuclear industry's need.
The report features input from Hub members including @proftbs and @james_marrow

What a beastie! Now being prepped for Chernobyl...

[Kieran Wood @DrKieranWood]

The drones are growing! This giant M600 is destined to carry a scanning LiDAR for mapping sites contaminated with nuclear waste. @UOBFlightLab @NCNRobotics @SWNuclearHub
